of the foundations to this championship team, ryan vogelsong and barry zito. [cheers and applause] >> how are you guys doing? [cheers and applause] me and vogy have a special relationship and we were talking in detroit after we clinchd and i told him how much he inspired him and respects him and me and him have been through states of hell in this game and the lows have been very low but we're enjoying the highs of the highs right now and thanks to these guys right here and thanks to all you guys and it's a real honor to be up here and be part of helping this team this year.

such a blessing so thank you very much. [cheers and applause] >> well, i have been told by older people on this team i need to keep this quick. there are two reasons we won and one we came together and as hunter said we played for the names on the front and not on the back and because of you fans. the way you brought us fort in the season and the post season. we went to the other cities and they weren't as loud as you and quite frankly detroit's fans weren't even norly as loud as you and that's why we won and thank you very much and i told the team i was going to do this and we have a battle cry that

nobody knows about and i'm going to break it out right now and you have to figure it out. it's as simple as this "you're going to jail now" . >> hard to beat. three more main stays to this championship team. matt cain, sergio romo and buster posey. [cheers and applause] >> well, now we have no chance after that. this has been such an unbelievable ride this year. all these guys came together early in spring and really believed in each other. we had an eventful year and we have

romo being romo behind us, but this has been truly amazing and without you guys we wouldn't be here and you guys are by far the best fans in baseball and we got to all right that all this season and it's unbelievable and this next guy needs no introduction but we will give him one anyway. mvp posey. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. audience: mvp! mvp! >> thank you for me look looking around and seeing all the excitement and happiness on everyone's face you realize an accomplishment like this means more than just winning a game. this is about making memories with your family and friends to last a lifetime and i think we all know and believe that if you

[cheers and applause] >> well, -- audience: romo, romo. >> well, first off congratulations san francisco. we definitely couldn't have done it without you guys. i will venture to say -- there is one thing i noticed about my team we are a great example of this city. look at the diversity of personalities, where we all come from, the different faces from

different stories and we all have one goal in mine. we had one job in mine. we had one dream in mine and that is to be world series champions with this group and i am proud to say that. you guys the same thing. we couldn't have done it without you, the city of san francisco. like i said you guys better be proud. you need to be proud and i will tell you for dang sure we are all world series champions and wearing orange and black in san francisco.

lot about the reverend which is a lot of empty smoke if you ask me. there is one simple thing that happened with this team that hasn't been talked about enough and it was sacrifice. when i went up and talked to these guys i asked them to sacrifice themselves and play for each other and you won't see that too often with this big of a stage and the playoffs with this great group of super stars. they sacrificed their ego and they played for you guys and this is what this celebration is about. it's about you. thank you guys. we are going to bring this together. we want you to join in what we do in the dug out. i want you teach you about this and this is how we did it and i want you to lose your mind. >> ladies and gentlemen, this is how we get pumped up before we kill every team baby. >> every join with me. hands in the hair. we going to slow

note. we will move on to lee burnette and creighton reed who has let us know he will not be able to be here today. mr. burnette. thank you. it's the same format as with the previous item. >> okay. hi. i am lee burnette. i'm a veteran and a student at city college. i served five years in the navy. moved here to start school, and actually i've been very surprised and happy with san francisco. it's one of the most veteran friendly towns i've been to and i appreciate that. i feel i'm good for the position because since i've been at city college, i was elected the veterans club alliance. i was elected one of the officers there. and basically with that, we do

pretty much everything, helping veterans get contacted into medical care, their education, housing, everything, even their finances, and things. so that's a big issue. also, i'm a volunteer at david chiu's office. and when i met david, he told me i could work on a passion project. honestly the biggest thing in the city and this state, you know,ñ?ñ? since the wars have started, we've had mor?ñ?ñ vets coming home and committing suicide thanúçñ?ñ? dying overse. so i've actually joined a3sñ?ñ nonprofit called life for veterans, and that's -- what we want to target is not just helping veterans when they call in, not jump off the ledge, but also giving them outlets and jobs, and housing. so we've made a couple of

contacts in napa valley and we have wineries that are going to be supplying housing and job training for these veterans. so it's more than just -- more than just therapy. that's what i feel i can bring to the commission. thank you. >> chair kim: thank you very much. creighton did let us know he would not be here, in case he's here. not seeing him. david adams and mary tramil. >> thank you for having me here today. i started out as a kid in the boy scots and also house of -- and auction i wil auxilliary coh school. i started out with the public leadership and went into the army for six years. i came to san francisco, been

i am on post 34. 6?ñ? i used to be on sunday for veterans to come and eat and get clothing. and been promoted to provostá?? marshal. third semester, i'm a police officer there. the other thing is i volunteer at sfpd 12 hours a week. these things show people that -- in the community, also a person that has good leadership)q÷ñ potential. my interest in this board is to of course keep my contacts,cexxd assure veterans in san francisco lot of people that come in. sometimes they're on drugs or

whatever, they need leadership. and içlñ?ñ? usually suggest to m the÷eñ?ñ? palo alto clinic. i have two veterans down there .ñ?ñ?one gentleman went down, ht cleaned up, and is living in a successful community based organization right:tñ?ñ?ñ now. so i think it's great. i'm really happy toxññ?ñ? be he. i've been active with the veterans affairs for about a to implicate and i just need more time. so basically just wanted to thank you, and thank you for your time. >> chair kim: thank you, mr. adams. thank you for your application. mikel matto. afternoon. you so much for consideringbá"ç0ãme. i have two items that i'd likegñ
